What is a Physical Therapist Aide? A Physical Therapist Aide has many duties in a physical therapy environment that, like the physical therapy assistant, help to make physical therapists more productive. For example, a physical therapy aide is often responsible for keeping the treatment area clean and well prepped. The physical therapy aide may also assist patients in their preparation for treatment.
Physical therapists and physical therapist assistants (PTAs) under the direction and supervision of a physical therapist are the only providers of physical therapy services. In many practice settings, physical therapists rely on the PTA to assure that all patients/clients have access to physical therapy services.
